Summary

Discovered sometime prior to 1952 in the Florida Mountains of Southwestern New Mexico, the “Last Stand Note” - written on a piece of tobacco paper and stuffed inside an empty shell case - reads as follows: This is our last shell and about 10 Indians left so our chances look slim, but we are going to take a chance. Yours truly, Wm Bonney. Did Billy the Kid REALLY write this note? Did he ever have any close encounters with the Apache?

0:26.9	the Bloody Beaver podcast. Don't ask. To be completely honest, it did take me a while to find my
0:32.9	voice and hit the proper stride. So please, don't let the rawness of this early installment dissuade you for checking out
0:38.9	some of the more recent episodes.

0:42.9	Unless the topic is part of a long-form series, and when it is, you'll know it.

0:55.1	All right, thanks again for checking out the Wild West extraaganza.
